‍CZ's Google Account Targeted by Suspected State-Backed Hackers Binance co-founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao reported that his Google account was targeted by "government-backed attackers," raising concerns about state-sponsored threats. The Lazarus Group, linked to North Korea, is a primary suspect. This incident follows CZ's earlier warnings about these groups posing as job candidates to infiltrate crypto firms. US intelligence indicates Lazarus Group uses sophisticated networks of agents to funnel funds to Pyongyang. Coinbase and other firms have also faced data breaches and theft from North Korean operatives. Experts urge enhanced security measures, including dual wallet management and employee education, to combat these evolving threats.

‍Bitcoin's Healthy Reset: Support Levels and Futures Market Correction Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing a pullback from its all-time highs, with analysts suggesting a potential revisit to the $118,000-$120,000 range.

This reduction is crucial for market stability, helping to temper euphoria and reduce volatility, thus strengthening the foundation for Bitcoin's next ascent.

‍Billion-Dollar Whale Bets Heavily on Crypto Downturn A prominent investor, reportedly holding $11 billion in Bitcoin, has opened nearly $900 million in short positions on BTC and ETH. This signals a potential market correction, contrasting with typical October optimism. The whale initiated a $600 million 8x leveraged Bitcoin short and a $330 million 12x leveraged Ether short. Blockchain data indicates the ETH position is already profitable. Historically, such moves by large holders can influence market dynamics. However, recent Bitcoin selling pressure has largely come from smaller wallet holders (shrimps, crabs, and fish) rather than whales.
